Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, June 22.-The billiard
champion, Jacob Schaefer, is in the city
preparing for his trip to Europe and
doing great deal of talking. He said
to-day: 81 will leave for the other side
in company with my backer, Richard
Roche, on the French steamer GascOn,
July 2, unless | succeed in getting on a
match here. | am going over to get a
match with Vignaux at any game he
likes for as much money as he cab raise.

probably be abroad two months. If not
shall be back in about fortnight.
am also open to play any
man in America, cushion caromS,
Maurice DAILY preferred, for from 81, 900
to $1,000 Side." Schaefer says that,
while open to play match at cushion
car0mS with any man in the country,
he will not enter cushion carOm tour
nament. II think it very strange, in
deed" he said of SlOsSon's return. He
may have had some misunderstanding
with Nine. Patti and her husband.
There is no use telling me he couldn't
get match over there if he wanted
one very bad" Sexton and DAILY are
willing to enter in a cushion car0m
tournament with Schaefer and SloSson,
but they will not make match with
Schaefer. 1t looks now like scheme
to have tournament in New York and
another in Chicago, both to be played in

TUCKERMAN HIT HARD.
Des Moines Wins of Minneapolis
Without Much Effort.

Yesterdays cold, dreary weather kept
down tie attendance at the MinneapO-
liS-DeS ,.OineS game, and it was FORUM
ate, for more rocky exhibition of ball
playing has not been given this season.
Worse than that were the rocky decis-
ions of the umpire, a certain Mr.. Lay,
whom Secretary Quin had picked up
somewhere. M. Lay knows nothing
whatever of base ball, and his decisions
were abominable in nearly every in
stance. After the game Managers
Foster and Bryan declared with one
voice they would not play another game
with such thing to preside, and Secre-
tary Quin was wired to that effect. Lay
did not lose the game for Minneapolis,
but did all he could in that direction and
developed the highest kicking proclivi-
ties the home team had. Many persons
left the ground in sheer disgust of such
an exhibition of ignorance. Tucker
mans liStleSSneSS in the box cost Min
neapolis the game. His carlessneSS
spread to other members of the team,
after they had worn themselves out
chasing after leather all over the field
and DeS MoineS won in the first three
innings. 1t was weary, long drawn
out game, with shivering wind. and
many of the errors were attributable to
the cold. The score is as follows:

SIOUX CITY, To-, June 22.-The sec
ond day of the sportsmen's tournament
was favored with splendid weather and
good attendance. The American Clay
Bird medal, heretofore held by Phelps,
of Marshalltown, was won by r. S.
Hughes, of Burlington, on a straight
score of twenty. Twelve different
matches were shot, in each of which
there were upwards of twenty entries.
In all cases the entry money was
divided into purses and these
purses generally were divided on
ties, although good scores were
made by many of the shooters. DeS
MoineS was selected as the next place
of meeting, and the following officers
were elected: President, j. G. Smith,

Salina (Kan.) Letter to Memphis Appeal.
l have just returned from a trip on
the Santa Fe road, west. Syracuse,
sixteen miles from the Colorado line,
was the Mecca of my pilgrimage, be-
cause here, April 18th, they elected a
city council of women, and was bent
upon seeing the town that had made
this innovation, and the women who
were filling council chairs. | wanted
to ask the people how it came about
and how it was working.
The first of these ladies introduced
to me was Mrs. E. B. Barbour, a fair
faced, gentfe-mannered woman, with
an unmistakable air of business about
her. L found this accounted for by the
fact that she is business woman. Her
husband does large and complicated
business. The books are entirely in her
charge. Mrs. ii. ID. Mott is business
woman, too. L expect much of Mrs.
Mott Ill the management of their Stuff
rage society, because of her experience
in Iowa as president of the Eighth Dis
trict WOman'S Suffrage society. Mrs.
Coggeshall says they were very sorry to
lose Mrs. Mott from their ranks. She lis
chairman of the Syracuse Aldermanic
force. Mrs. NJ. M. Riggles is quite a
tiouS mother and housewife. She
has way of making up her mind for
herself and standing firmly by her con-
victionS. She has a reputation among
Syracuse male citizens for being per-
son of excellent Judgment. Mrs. S. n.
COe is woman of excellent ability. with
enough conservatism to keep her enthu-
siasm in proper check. No one of these
women is more anxious to do exactly
right than is Mrs. Coe. She is sister to
Mrs. Lemert, president of the Saxon
Equal Suffrage society organized at
Dodge City by Mrs. Saxsand named for
her. She has several such namesakes
in Kansas. Mrs. L. M. Swartwoods
see, although l made an effort
to do SO. She was confined to her
home by sickness; but L am told that
she is a woman of ability, and by no
means behind her sisters in any re-
quisite for her position. My short ac-
quaintance with these women con-
WINGED me that sitting in council chairs
and wrestling witls questions of CITY
pOlity have had s.o effect to unseX them
whatever that may be--for these were
as womenly women as have ever seen.
l looked i'll vain for masculine tenden-
eieS. There was not hint of it in dress
or manner. Meeting them on the street
or i'll the cars you would never guess
that they were city officials. From con-
versation with them learned that they
were exceedingly anxious to make their
administration just one-one that
would advance the best interests of the
city; and when they spoke of adyanc-
ing the interests of their city they
betrayed the fact that they had in mind
the city'S moral as well as temporal.

respect, as but two hits were made off
Burdick and five Off Morkin, although
three of the latter were due to the
roughneSS of the ground. Many brilliant
plays were made on both sides, and the
running catches of the home team in
the field and behind the bat were very
fine. Umpire Naylor was off in his de-
ciSiens, and caused great amount of
kicking by both clubs. Few people
were present. The weather was cold

runs, but st. Paul had got too far be-
hind to win. The feature of the game
was the work of Moriarity in both field
and at bat. He is credited with three
bona fide hits and phantom and put
out five men on flies. In the ninth inn
ing he made a phenomenal one-hand
catch of Wilmot'S drive to the right
field fence. Umpire Brennan made one
mistake, which probably did not affect
the result, in calling Duryea out on
strikes after five balls had been pitched
him. The score is as follows:
